Vincentennial St. Louis: 100 Years of Vincent Price

We all know that I have major STL pride, being born here, residing her, and working to help the city revitalize itself and all that jazz. But there's one reason that makes St. Louis way cooler than the rest of you: the illustrious and hilariously creepy St. Louis native Vincent Price. In honor of his 100th birthday, Cinema St. Louis is running Vincentennial, a collection of some of his fan favorites including Theatre of Blood, The Pit and the Pendulum, Laura, Witchfinder General, House of Usher, and The Abominable Dr. Phibes. Director Roger Corman will be on hand Saturday (tonight, May 21st) and Sunday night for screenings of The Tomb of Ligeia and The Masque of the Red Death. I will see you there!Click here for schedule, prices, and more. Most screenings are free!
